A hard wall at the origin and an attractive delta potential at distance form a leaky quantum cavity. For unit incident amplitude from outside, the interior standing wave has coefficient , where and . Its modulus squared is the title expression. A resonance pole produces an enhancement with a locally Lorentzian line shape, proportional to . At fixed low and small , and .
The coefficient can exceed one because it measures a standing-wave amplitude, while the net interior probability current is zero. Conservation of probability current gives unit reflected flux: no current passes through the hard wall. Near zero, when ; the threshold case requires a separate limit.
